Amid efforts towards establishing a joint fighting formation, the Indian Navy held an important meeting of the three defence services last week to set up the Maritime Theatre Command under which the Navy would lead the Army and the Air Force while taking care of threats to peninsular India and the island territories of the country."The representatives of the Indian Army and Indian Air Force took part in the consultations for the creation of the Maritime Theatre Command in the meeting headed by the Western Navy Commander Vice Admiral Ajayendra Bahadur Singh," government sources told ANI.The meeting was part of the study and exercise by the Indian Navy to suggest the structures of Maritime Theatre Command on the instructions of the Department of Military Affairs, they said.All three forces have been asked to carry out studies for the creation of Theatre Commands in their respective domains.Sources said the Indian Air Force and the Indian Army were represented by their officials deployed in the southern parts of the country. The Indian Air Force was represented by an Air Vice Marshal posted in Mumbai for coordinating the maritime air operations."During the meeting, the Indian Air Force expressed its reservations on the structures proposed," sources said.The Indian Air Force is in favour of the creation of theatre commands but has expressed reservations on the number of new commands to be created within the given resources and assets.The DMA under late Chief of Defence Staff General Bipin Rawat had asked the three forces to submit their respective studies related to theatre commands by April this year.The Indian Army has nominated Central Army commander Lt Gen YK Dimri along with South Western Army commander Lt Gen Amardeep Singh Bhinder to conduct the study for the creation of these commands.Sources said the plan of the DMA is to create four new theatre commands which will not include the most sensitive Ladakh sector which has seen two aggressions by the armies of Pakistan and China respectively in the last two decades.The meeting in Mumbai under Vice Admiral AB Singh was the first major meeting on the issue of the creation of theatre commands after the death of General Rawat in a chopper crash.Singh being the senior-most officer in the Commander-in-Chief rank in the Navy is also likely to become the first Maritime Theatre Commander. With the studies expected to be submitted by April, sources said it is likely that the government may announce the creation of the Maritime Theatre Command by August 15 this year.( With inputs from ANI )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
